About the 8254, the kernel log contains : Nov 20 17:15:15 pc8-118 kernel: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-AP IC Nov 20 17:15:15 pc8-118 kernel: ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... Nov 20 17:15:15 pc8-118 kernel: ..... (found pin 0) ...works. But this does not seem to annoy the kernel. Is there anyway to restore the 8254 to a valid state without rebooting ? -- | Benjamin Monate | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | LRI - Bât. 490 | Université de Paris-Sud | F-91405 ORSAY Cedex - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
